    We’ve been in most of the games in the final minutes. What are you looking for? One point losses every game?

    CJ deserves plenty of ridicule for his me-first habits but he has been trying to find open teammates in this game, at least, some of the time. He found Skal a couple of times in the mid-range and Tolliver for the first 3 of the game

    You really want to play draft "what ifs" on a Blazers board?

    I thought this was going to be a really hard game to watch but I'm actually enjoying seeing our bench guys put up a good effort.

    This what really piss me off about CJ besides he doesn't play team basketball when he misses a shot he jog back on defense.

    And how do you know that's not coach's defensive instructions?

    You think a coach would tell his players to purposely jog back on defense?

    Sacrifice offensive rebounds for better fast break defense.

    Or do you mean he's not running fast enough?

    Skal is having a helluva game. His mid range and 3-point jumper has been automatic, his rebounding has been good, and he has tallied 3 monster blocks!

    It is if they’re open. But there was only one three when I wrote that and the attempted post up had failed, Ant got a screen, the defender went under the screen, with 10 seconds on the shot clock. It’s a good shot.

    A young core of Nurkic, Collins, Simons, Little and Skal looks promising...

    Brooke Lopez has been channeling Andrea Bargnani's rebounding prowess for years now. He must have studied the offense of Meyers

    I pretty much said what I was looking for. Better defense, growth, decent passing and flow.
